That pic looks mildly confusing

As fa as I can remember, its just 4 nuts at the top of each rear towhook(on the onside under the car) and a large screw on the bottom underneath the forward edge(at the arch) and it should pretty much come off. I cant recall if you need to remove any screws from the plasic inner guard or not.

How you going with this khchu??

lol, i agree with JBT!
although ive had to do it a few times while fitting my new rear bumper.

Ive got a 1990 NA6 and my bumper was held on by like 15 of the those sucky plastic clips and the only way to get to them is remove the garnish, so try ...
1. remove your tail lights.
2. remove the garnish..pull back inner carpet of the boot and undo the 10mm bolts holding the garnish on, and becareful of the clips.oh and the number plate bolts.
3. undo all the annoying little push through clips on the top side edge and the bottom edge of the bumper and the two bolts holding the front of the bumper to the wheel arches and your done.

Were you removing the bar skin from the bar itself Luke? Because when I have pulled my bar off a few times and also off a wreck I picked up, it was easy as pie like i described, and if you have the whole bar off then you can remove the skin much easier.

yep, sorry... as zoomzoom said... i was actually replacing the skin... ie I put a fibreglass racing beat rear bumper skin on.
I just did it that way because i thought I might not be able to line the skin up with the body properly. so being able to quickly clip it on there let me make some fine adjustments to the fit... as they say there's more than one way to skin an 'cat'...
